Traffic Director and System and Method for Use Thereof
A traffic director includes a distal end and a proximal end, two or more sides extending upward from the proximal end at an angle toward the distal end, a proximal notch disposed near the proximal end between two adjacent sides, and the proximal notch forms a first flexion point of the traffic director. The traffic director can further include one or more recessed channels formed in at least one of the two or more sides. The one or more recessed channels forms a second flexion point of the traffic director. The traffic director can further include a removable indicator sleeve having an advertisement or directional indicator printed thereon.
Post sleeve assembly
A post sleeve provides a substantially permanent base for supporting a post for a fence or sign, and from which one post can be removed and replaced with another post. The sleeve includes a concrete body that is poured on site, using a sleeve core prepositioned in the post hole, and around which wet concrete is poured. After the concrete is cured, the core is removed, leaving a post sleeve cavity configured to receive a post. The core can be rigid, or can include a flexible shell and stiffener. A preformed post sleeve top can be attached to the sleeve core and positioned therewith in the post hole, to become a permanent part of the post sleeve, once the concrete cures. A drain is attached to the core, and remains in the sleeve when the core is removed, and can be a percolation chamber, or passage extending below the sleeve.

Safety cone with controlled illumination
A safety or sports cone with controlled illumination is provided that is durable and easy to use. The cone has a light-transmitting body with an illumination device housing integrated into the top of the body that houses an illumination device that rests on a support ring and is accessed by a housing cap. The illumination device includes a light-emitting diode (LED) module, an LED actuator, a battery, and a battery housing. The illumination device is covered by a protective transparent shell. A reflective platform increases the illumination intensity at the top of the cone and provides additional protection from physical damage and contaminants. The illumination is activated and deactivated by pressing the center of the housing cap to affect the LED actuator. One or more ridges extending from the inner surface of the body below the support ring prevent unwanted activation of the illumination device during cone stacking.

POST-MOUNT TEETER FOR USE WITH A SIGNAL DEVICE
Examples of the disclosure enable a signal device to be securely coupled to a post. A post-mount teeter includes a stand including a first body, a first flange extending from the first body, and a platform coupled to the first body, and a base including a second body coupled to the first body, a housing coupled to the second body, a second flange extending from the housing, and a sleeve selectively moveable within a cavity defined by the housing to adjust a distance between the sleeve and the housing. Aspects of the disclosure provide for a teeter system that may be used to present signals to one or more users approaching a signal device from one or more directions.
Elastic bollard for rack protection
An elastic bollard for rack protection includes: a buffer part (30) mounted on ground; a vertical pole (50) coupled to the buffer part; a case part which includes a case upper part (11) having a through-insertion port (11a) formed on an upper surface thereof so that the vertical pole penetrates and protrudes to the outside, and a case lower part (12) integrally coupled to a lower end of the case upper part, and forms an internal space to cover the buffer part (30); an elastic part (40) provided between a bottom surface of the case upper part and an upper surface of the buffer part; and a pedestal part on which the buffer part is mountable.
Bollard coverings and methods of manufacture and use thereof
A bollard covering formed from a body, a body connector, a first center, a second center, a bottom, and a top is disclosed. The body connector and bottom further comprise post guide surfaces. In order to secure the bollard covering to the post, one or more holes are provided within the bottom, threaded to accommodate a set screw, or the like. Bollard covering elements are joined by welding, bonding, or mechanical fastening. Bollard coverings may be formed from a manufacturer's standard inventory elements in order to create a standard inventory or a customized bollard covering product that may be economically configured on an individual bollard covering basis, or on small or large scale runs, with as much variation in optional components, features, and conveniences as may be required by the marketplace.
Sleeves for sign posts
A sleeve for a post that is generally rectangular in horizontal cross-section, may have two or three panels, may have perforation which allow portions of one or more panels to be removed, may incorporate retroreflective materials, may have holes, bushings, and/or adhesive layers to facilitate attaching the sleeve to a post, may have top-bottom and side-to-side connectors to facilitate connecting the top of one sleeve to the bottom of another or the edge of one sleeve to an edge of another, may be accompanied by spacers to allow the sleeve to be connected to posts of different size and geometry.
HIGH ENERGY IMPACT ABSORBING POST
The current invention relates to an impact absorbing post (1) for collision protection comprising a base member (3), a primary impact member (2), at least one inner impact member (9) and connecting members (8), wherein the base member (3) comprises a bottom plate (4) and a hollow connection profile (6), wherein the connection profile (6) is fixed to the bottom plate (4) and extends perpendicular to the bottom plate (4), wherein the primary impact member (2) and the at least one inner impact member (9) are hollow profiles extending perpendicular to the bottom plate (4), wherein the connection profile (6) is placed inside the primary impact member (2), wherein the at least one inner impact member (9) has a shorter length than the primary impact member (2), and wherein the at least one inner impact member (9) is placed at the bottom plate (4) inside the connection profile (6). The invention also relates to a method and a use.
